The MSM isn't the only way of acquiring information about current events, so it isn't necessary to discover what they withhold. Not that that wouldn't also be valuable—I'm just trying to get at the potential range of approaches here. I'm only advocating that resources get put into a serious search for solutions. I think it's highly unlikely any of us would just be able to produce the solution in a few minutes of thinking about it.
- Boothroid 9y agoActually, a tool that compares texts from different sources on the same topic and ranks them on different criteria could be interesting, i.e. assertion, logical fallacy, emotive language, inclusion/exclusion of key details; very off the top of my head. Additionally - over time you could build up a nice corpus for one source versus another source. I guess you do see studies examining bias every now and then, but the whole thing could be automated and ongoing.
